After basking in Tofino’s surfer lifestyle we head back east across Vancouver island, crossing the Strait of Georgia to the BC mainland on the ferry between Comox and Powell River for a few nights along the Sunshine Coast. My first and only experience along this secluded section of BC’s coast came shortly after I was married, when my father-in-law decided to make a sailor of me on an adventure up the inside passage to Desolation Sound. Now, just past his 80th birthday, I have brought him back to reminisce.
